Trying to fit in a hike, we decided to detour to nearby Antietam Battlefield in Maryland to walk some of the historic area, enjoy the weather and get in a little hiking. We also had Lucy with us, so it was going to be her first ever hike.
My favorite area of Anitetam is Burnsides Bridge. It's a little off the beaten path, and there are several paths in that area that would allow for some mild hiking. We opted to hike down to the bridge, across it, along Antietam Creek and up a hill to view the bridge from the ridge. It was only a short 1-1.5 mile hike, but it was better than not hiking at all. Lucy did pretty good, but we need to work on her leash skills. She pulls quite a bit. Hoping she manages to settle down and be a relaxing hiking partner.
